ECM is activated by power supply. Signals from several sensors, such as CKPS and APS, is inputted to ECM. Comparing inputted siganals with control LOGIC saved at micro controller and EEPROM, ECM controlls engine as actuating injectors, solenoids and relays. To guarantee accurate control, ECM performs SELF TEST, DIAGNOSIS of several sensors and actuators. And if serious trouble which affects vehicle performance occurrs, ECM sets DTCs.At certain cases, ECM shuts down whole systems in order to prevent dangerous situation due to incorrect control.
P0642 is set when the voltage below 4.7V - minimum voltage of sensor power supply 1 generates from ECM - is detected for more than 0.1 sec.. This code is due to the short to ground in sensor power circuit or the voltage problem inside of ECM.

※ Reference voltage from CMPS will be reading approximately 0.2V according to the position of Cam shaft.
Therefore, check the CMPS after disconnecting CMPS connector.

APS1 CMPS 4830mV~5158mV | RPS, APS 2, BPS, MAFS 4830mV~5158mV | APT, VSCA DPS, ECTS 4830mV~5158mV |
Electrical systems consist of a lot of harness and connectors, poor connection of terminals can cause various problems and damge of component.
Perform checking procedure as follows.
Check damage of harness and terminals : Check terminals for contact resistance, corrosion and deformation.
Check connecting condition of ECM and component connector : Check terminal seperation, damage of locking device and connecting condition between terminal and wiring.
Disconnect the pin which requires checking at male connector and insert it to the terminal at female connector for checking connecting condition. ( after checking, reconnect the pin at correct position. )
Is the problem found?
▶ Repair the trouble causing part and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair".
▶ Go to "Power Circuit Inspection".
Check power circuit voltage
IG KEY "OFF", ENGINE "OFF".
Disconnector CMPS connector and APS connector.
IG KEY "ON".
Measure the voltage between CMPS connector terminal 2 or APS connector terminal 4 and chassis ground.
Specification : 4.8V~5.1V
Is the measured voltage within the specification?
▶ Go to "Component Inspection".
▶ Go to "2. Check short to ground in power circuit" as follows.
Check short to ground in power circuit
IG KEY "OFF", ENGINE "OFF".
Disconnect CMPS connector, APS connector, ECM connectors.
Check continuity between CMPS connector terminal 2 or APS connector terminal 4 and chassis ground.
specification : Discontinuity ( Infinite Ω )
Is the measured resistance within the specification?
▶ If the circuit is insulated well and the sensor power supply from ECM is low, replace ECM and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair".
▶ Repair short to ground and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair".
IG KEY "OFF", ENGINE "OFF".
Disconnect CMPS connector and APS connector.
Check that sensor connector power supply is within the specification after turning IG KEY "ON".
Connect CMPS connector and APS connector in turn.
Measure the voltage of power circuit of each sensor with all connector connected.
Specification :
APS : sensor power supply should not change as connecting APS connector.
( If the change of sensor power supply occur as connecting sensor connector, this means the occurrence of short inside of sensor.)
CMPS : Sensor signal voltage will be droped approximately 0.2V not only when connecting cam shaft position sensor but also when locating the cam shaft in case.
Does change of sensor power supply occur as connecting sensor connector?
▶ Replace related sensors.( CMPS, APS )
▶ go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair".
After a repair, it is essential to verify that the fault is corrected.
After connecting Scantool select "DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES(DTCs)" mode.
Clear recorded DTC using Scantool.
Drive the vehicle within DTC "Enable conditions" in "General information".
After selecting "DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES(DTCs)" mode and check if DTC is recorded again.
Are any DTCs recorded ?
▶ Go to the DTC guide of recorded NO. in Scantool.
▶ System operates within specification.
